InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa

Highly recommend the Fijian curry cooking class. Krishan was an excellent teacher. The chicken curry was delicious

Located on the southwestern corner of the main island, the InterContinental Fiji is considered the best luxury resort on the island with a PGA golf course, 20 miles of walking paths, miles of soft sand beaches, an award-winning spa, top-rated restaurants, spacious suites and a whole lot more. For two people who are not great at relaxing, Fiji certainly changed that. It’s easy to spend the days lounging on your private balcony with a good book, at the adult pool with Fijian spiced rum and pineapple juice, the day beds in hidden areas, or any number of lounges. There’s also a putting course, a gym, tons of family-friendly activities (cooking classes, bee-keeping, jewelry-making and more), and great live music. When we arrived, we were greeted with a very energetic “BULA!” (welcome), a necklace of shells, and a welcome drink. You also don’t touch your luggage the minute you arrive - it will be in your room after you check in. As for the room, what an amazingly pleasant surprise! We had a corner room (2724) with the best ocean and sunset views. It was a short walk to nearly everything and if you don’t feel like walking, they have golf carts continuously on the paths, offering rides. Next, the staff. In all our years of travel, all over the world, Fijians are the loveliest people we have ever met. They are so kind, upbeat, and genuinely want you to have a good time in their homeland. At the InterContinental, they remember everyone’s name, will surprise you in the most amazing ways for your celebrations (we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and our birthdays), and will quietly remember any feedback you share, implementing it the next time around. If you are coming from the U.S., this is one of the most inexpensive luxury vacations you can take and we highly recommend it to anyone! TIP: Get the New Zealand ice cream from the stand across from Toba Bar and Grill - the Manuka Honey and Fig are amazing!

My wife and I have just returned from a short break at this outstanding property. This is our first stay and it will not be our last. We plan to bring the full family next time. We cannot speak highly enough of every aspect of this wonderful property. Special call outs to Paul and Sera for the best breakfast experience we have enjoyed anywhere, Epeli's wonderful greeting at arrival and his mixologist skills, the wonderful hospitality and guidance for wines and food choices at Navo for our amazing dinners by Tici.

The weather was not the best, but the people were extraordinary. Every smile felt genuine and made our days. Special thanks to the whole Sanasana team, especially Whitney, Varanisese, Sera, Ruci and Nathan, along with the chefs and everyone behind the food counters. The fresh juices, Fijian food and lolo buns were unforgettable. Fijians know how to share the warmth of their hospitality, and the hardest part of visiting is saying goodbye.

Amazing experience. Unforgettable moments. All time smiles and care about your love ones. Excellent customer service. Totally recommended.
